Audacity

Grab a song from your file and you can put it in audacity, fade out,

Can edit with other music

Then can add this to your Photostory or podcasting
It saves as its own file, but go to Export and save it as an MP3 file
You need an encoder…LAME…this converts to MP3…must download this
You can use this with Moviemaker
File must include photos so there are no broken links

Photostory

Biographies
Easy to use, with music from Audacity, photos,
Can narrate


Scratch

Left is blocks of code, middle is where you build your script, right side has characters

Create games
Saw a simple math game

Have students create games for the elementary students, the
Students had to research what the anchors were in the 4 or 5 th grade curriculum and create a game for the teacher’s class

Wow…great idea…..can be posted to a web page, to get the Embed code, must upload to the Scratch website and go into the website and get the code….could then be put into a wiki

Can bring your own music from audacity or photos into this program.

Game is built on an X and Y grid

PollEverywhere

Live audience polling software
Can poll from phones,
Easy to use, slides explain the process

Only get 30 responses, can just clear…take a screen shot for each class

Texting rates do apply if you use your text , but can do from computer

Save the slide with a control right into powerpoint

Webspiration

Can use it with Gaggle account
